Saying Yes to a Drink: She is young, and dreams of giving herself over.
Father, R.I.P., Sums Me Up at Twenty-Three: She is critiqued from beyond.
Long Weekend at Your House: Sometimes female friendship is truest.
November on Her Way: She professes renewed passion against the coming chill.
She Was Waiting to Be Told: Her heart revealed to him, at least in part.
She Thinks of Him on Her Birthday: In which she recalls her father and forgives herself.
An Idle Thought: Married at twenty-one, and her mind may wander—
On the Road to Getting You: but she invariably returns to their inverted passion.
The Firemen: A love poem to nobody in particular;
3:00 A.M. Comedy: to her husband asleep;
The Boss: to an older man whose kind regard was itself a form of love.
A Working Girl Can’t Win: She takes notes as another of her sex is condemned.
The Widow’s Sex Life: Her mother’s lot.
I Answer Your Question with a Question: Here we go again (again);
You Prune Your List in Summer: and again love doesn’t go as planned, yet there is perverse consolation in solitude.
Her Majesty Loses Her Touch: She lies awake feeling older but not necessarily wiser;
Maybe There’s No Going Back: and despairs of taking passion seriously, now she sees herself clearly.
Please Fire Me: The desire for oblivion runs high at the office.
Superior: She is rude and subversive, but holds her tongue.
Fight Song: She may have the last word yet.
The Warning: A letter (undelivered) to a man she might have known better.
Happily Married: A confluence.
Perfectionist on the Beach: Her oldest friend can still disturb her mind.
Atlantic Wind: The mischief in the air seeps into her.
A Friendship Enters Phase II: Her newest friend turns the night inside out.
A Kiss: in memory speaks volumes.
Husband, Not at Home: A different kind of adoration.
Worked Late on a Tuesday Night: Not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning.
